Spring Is Here...

Edited to Add: My Spring card won Top 3 at Paper Sundaes Challenge!

Hello my blogging friends! Time for another challenge over at IAMC. The theme is Spring. I love Spring! the weather is perfect, the gardens are so beautiful, little creatures flying everywhere... and to celebrate the season, I made this butterfly shaped card using my Party Tilda from the Princes & Princesses collection.

I cut the base for my card with my Cricut Expressions (Elegant Edges cartridge). Using Design Studio Software, I welded two butterfly shapes from the top wings and cut them on white cardstock.

The pattern papers are My Mind's eye. I brushed some white crackle paint around the edges of the butterfly and around my image.

The tag was created with Magnolia doohickey die: "Bloomy Tag". I decorated it with this gorgeous Vintage Seam Ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts and a little butterfly charm.

The beautiful flowers are also from Wild Orchid Crafts and I applied 2 layers of Pearl Glimmer mist for a "shimmery" look. The butterfly digital stamps are Hero Arts.
